Aside from public dance performances, there are also stepdance competitions in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and North America. Most competitive stepdances are solo dances, though many stepdancers also perform and compete using traditional set and céilí dances. When performed as a solo dance, it is generally characterized by a stiff upper body and the quick and precise movements of the feet.
in america irish dancing is more simple and the standards would be very differant.
irish dancing spread to america when the irish went to america in the famine times. it spread because theres was so many people using the irish launguage and dancing as a past times . nowadays they teach irish dancing in america and there is many irish pubs because people beleive that they have irish descent for example barrack obama beleived that he has relations in moneygal co. offaly.
irish dancing spread to the united kingdom in the plantations when some loyal irish decided to become protestant and move to england and scotland. the scottish launguage and songs are very similier to the irish launguage and songs so the scottish have a liking for the irish culture. i know that the scottish are very strict at irish dancing because at a recent worlds competition i was at many young scottish people won competitions.
